FGC Rebars: In the inter logistics and warehousing industry, the floor slab is the foundation of the entire operation. But traditional steel-reinforced concrete has a critical, costly flaw: it rusts. Corrosion from vehicle emissions, high humidity, or accidental chemical spills inevitably leads to concrete spalling and cracking.
The consequences are severe:
- Operational Disruption: Forklift and staff navigation must be rerouted, crippling efficiency.
- Safety Hazards: Cracks and spalls create dangerous trip hazards for employees.
- Increased Costs: Constant repair work and the resulting downtime directly impact profitability.
A Smarter, Rust-Free Solution
Shinestar’s next-generation FiberGlass Composite (FGC) or GFRP Rebars are the smart reinforcement choice for modern warehouse flooring. Composed of E-CR (Corrosion-resistant) glass fibers and epoxy resin, they are 100% corrosion-proof. This eliminates the root cause of concrete failure, delivering an 80+ year service life.
FGC Rebars are an upgrade over traditional steel reinforcement:
- Stronger: 2x the tensile strength of steel (over 1000+ MpA)
- Lighter: 4x lighter than steel, allowing for 66% faster project completion
- Certified: Fully compliant with BIS 18256:2023, which specifically lists slab-on-grade flooring as an ideal application
The Financial Case for FGC
The operational benefits are matched by immediate cost savings. For a typical 5,000 sq. ft. heavy-duty industrial floor, FGC Rebars can deliver 36% in cost savings compared to 12mm TMT steel. For a general warehouse, the savings are around 39%.
This technology is already proving its value in major logistics hubs, including the 1 lakh sq. ft. Grade A Raaj Warehousing facility in Palladam, Swiggy Instamart’s upcoming Megapod warehouse and Britannia’s 66,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Salem.
Before specifying reinforcement for your next warehouse, don’t build in a future liability. Build a rust-free, low-cost, high-performance foundation that lasts.
Shinestar FGC is pleased to participate in the Intralogistics & Warehousing Expo in Bengaluru on 6-8 Nov 2025 in Bengaluru and we would be glad to share our vision for the future of warehousing flooring reinforcement.
